Yes. emplode and emptool currently only support ID3v1 tags. Adding support for ID3v1.1 would not be difficult. Support for ID3v2 tags is a larger job and may be undertaken at some point in the future. I've downloaded the library from http://www.id3.org/ and I'll take a look at it when I get the chance.

I see no reason why ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags can't co-exist on the same file - maybe someone has a tool which will add ID3v1 tags based on ID3v2 tags?
